The Montreal's Missing Boat Picked
Up and All Landed.

[By Anglo American cable 70 the Dlspatch.l
LONDON, August 24.-Ihe City OF
Montreals missing boat has been
picked up, and the seven passengers
and six members of the crew who were
in it are safe and well. The rescue was
made 10y German vessel named Ma
thilde, which arrived at Falmouth to-
day with the thirteen survivors on
board.
The boat was rescued on the 18th IN =
slant. The survivors say that on the
first day after leaving the steamer they
experienced very rough weather. They
had a plentiful supply OF bread and
meat, but very little water. As con-
sequence they suffered badly from
thirst. The weather was hot, and this
greatly contributed to their discom-
fort. When rescued they were in lati-
;dde 1874 north, longitude 1920.
The boat was picked up by the brig
antine Mathilde, from Campeechee for
Falmouth. The rescued men say that
when their boat left the burning
steamer there were fifteen persons on
board. Finding it too crowded two
persons jumped aboard another boat.
There was only a half key of water in
the boat, and that was bad. There was
no sail aboard and no means of sig
Mailing passing vessels. The boat was
nearly swamped twice, and the
men had hard struggle to
keep her ahoat by bailing. On
Thursday they sighted a steamer
and pulled toward her, signalling with
a jacket and handkerchief, out the
steamer passed on without seeing them:
Friday they sighted another vessel and
pulled toward it and found that it was
the City of Montreal, still burning.
They tried to board her TO obtain more
water, but her plates were too hot.
They drifted until Monday, when they
were rescued by the Mathilde. They
laud the kindness of the Mathildos cap
tain and crew. ....,-

Accidents on Other Roads.
(By telegraph 10 the Dispatch. ]


WHEELING. w. Va, August a.
Emiprant Train No. SO, coming west on
the baltimore and Ohio railroad, this
morning at 8 o'clock ran into a freight
train at Eastern siding, twenty miles
east of this city. Al. Smith, engi-
n,er of the emigrant train, and Isaac
Arbuthnot. fireman, were instantly
killed. The engineer and fireman of
the freight train are only slightly in
iured. Fifteen of the emigrants are
seriously but none were fatally hurt.
They have been taken TO Cameron for
surgical attention. Smith and Arbuth-
not lived in Wheeling, where they have
families. The accident was the result
of misapprehension Of orders on the
part of the engineer OF the freight
train, who thought he had the right OF
way and pulled out OF the siding just
as the emigrant train came up.
ANOTHER ACCIDENT on THE BALTIMORE

o'clock this morning, badly wrecking

WORK OF TRAIS-wREcKERs.
ST. LOUIS, Mo, August 2i.-Dis-
patches from Lincoln, ILL.,, say that a
passenger train on the Peoria, Decatur
and Evansville railroad was derailed
near Salt Creek last night. The engine
and all of the cars left the rails while
going forty miles an hour. Fortunately
the entire train remained on the grade
and came TO a standstill after humping
on the ties 200 feet. Search WAS made
for the cause of the accident, and it
Was discovered that the fish-plates aud
spikes had been removed from the
rails. IN the weeds on a bank a crow
bar and other tools were found with
which the work had been done. There
is 10 doubt that the purpose OF the
fcnds was to rob the train. \ freight
train following close behind was
stopped few yard, from the derailed
passenger train; and thus what might
have been a horrible disaster was
ayerted.

STOLES RECORDS.
Prominent Washington Lawyer aud
Pension Clerk Arrested.

WAsHryG1oN, August 24.-Allen
Rutherford, a lawyer of high standing
and extensive practice in this city, and
formerly en- auditor of the Treasury
department under President Grant,
was arrested to-day upon the charge OF
receiving certain records stolen from
tie Pension Office. Richard Brumer,
clerk in the surviving soldiers division
OF the Pension Office, was also arrested,
charged with stealing the records in
question. The missing papers were
records Of the service of sur
wing soldiers which had been
copied into the books of the
Pension Office. Their loss is, there
folc, OF little moment to the Pension
Office, but their possession Is assumed
to he of consequence to claim agent
with an extensive practice. Ruther-
ford gave bail in $1,000 and was at
once released, but Brumer, in default
OF bail, was locked up. Brumer has
declined to employ counsel, and says
he is willing to plead guilty to the alb
straction OF the papers, but he de-
clares that he had no purpose of
rolbing the Government of any
thing of value. Their possible value

lie suggested to Rutherford that these
records would be of great service
20 his Office and save much trou-
bic. and Mr.. Rutherford agreed
with him and thought no harm
could come from taking papers
which were so soon to be destroyed.
Thereafter, from time to time, up TO
about year ago, Brumer says he sent
packages of papers to Rutherford. He
declares that he never received any
compensation for this service,
Mr.. Rutherford terms his arrest an
outrage which comes upon him like a
thnnderbolt. He declares that he never
received one of the stolen papers, nor
made any arrangement in respect to
them. 1t would be absurd, he says,
FOR man in his position to put his
liberty in jeopardy to get information

CHICAGO, August 2l.--The Germans
IN Chicago and throughout the North

The alleged attitude of the Irish clergy
in regard to the coming convention of
German Catholics in Chicago. Inter
views with lrish-American priests and
bishops, and extracts from semi Off
cial church organs, IN which the
opinion that the German language
should be prohibited in Catholic
churches and schools is expressed, have
been reproduced here, aud have drawn
out bitter comments from the German
newspapers. The SUITS /cituny has
this to say on the subject " For many

The SUITS /eit0ng then quotes from
an article published in the Ct'ho'ic
